Can Missed Periods, Tiredness And Lower Abdominal Cramps Indicate Pregnancy And When Should Home Test Be Taken?

Hi,
My period is 5 days late. I feel super tired and I have lower abdominal cramps. I also have tender nipples. I have gained 7 pounds in the last few days which is not normal. My clothes seem like they are fitting a little bit more tight. Could I be pregnant? When Is a good time for a pregnancy test?

Hi. Such a wt. gain is not indicated of early pregnancy.You can take home pregnancy test now also and take first morning sample of urine , which contains max. conc. of HCG.If in doubt, get one internal scan done after waiting for 5 days more. Thanks.
